Spambots Combat. Please comment-vote on level of protection
Spam bots have hit the "Mini Reviews" forums in a big way. Most of you dont see it because we have those replies moderated. The bots have not invaded our regular forums much, but we wanted to put in some protection before they DID.
I've installed a second level of protection against spam bots. [NOSPAM!] What it does it asks the user a simple question and looks for the correct answer. We've ALWAYS had the image protection but the spam bot builders have found a way to get past it. Apparently they can now read the numbers. the only reason that I am considering keeping it is because it has some new features (differing fonts, lines, differing font sizes, etc)
What I need from the folks: Help me think of good, easy questions that we should use. We do NOT want to deter real people (English speaking or otherwise), and we DO want to foil bots so we shouldn't use questions that other forums frequently use.
Please suggest your questions/answers in this thread. We'll soft-delete the content once I import the questions so as not to have a public record.
Here is what the new registration page looks like:
** Here is my poll question: Should we use the Question/Answer Protection, the Image Protection, or both?
[i am resetting the poll since I forgot to mention before that the image protection was comprised]
